Head-to-head warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 16 You Are Blessed

At this time, I handed the knife to Hou Dezhu, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Brother Hou, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I also have more energy than I want. Listen to my brother, from now on, don't gamble. From ancient times to the present, anyone who gambles has never had a good end, go home and talk to your wife, quit gambling, and she will stop fighting with you, my grandma said, women are soft-hearted."

Hou Dezhu was about to cry this time, and said to me with a bitter face: "Then...then thank you grandma first."

I said, "No, no."

After I finished speaking, I turned my head away, but I heard Hou Dezhu whispering from behind: "If you don't gamble from now on, you won't be able to suffocate to death in prison."

This person is hopeless, and as a dying person, I can't control so much.

Seeing that I finished talking with Hou Dezhu, Zhang Fei asked, "Master! My old Zhang is asking you now, are you going to hit me or not?!"

At this moment, I calmly helped up the chair that had fallen on the ground, then sat on it, and said, "It doesn't matter if you fight or not, I've already surrendered, Mr. Zhang, don't you want to be aggressive?"

At this moment, Chen Er came in again, and said to Zhang Fei as soon as he came in, "Master Zhang, County Captain Liu asked you to go out."

Zhang Fei blinked and asked, "Why do you go out? If this kid doesn't go out, who am I to compare with?"

Chen Er accompanied him with a smile and said, "No, Mr. Zhang, it seems that someone has come up above. Lieutenant Liu asked you to meet him together."

"Humph!" Zhang Fei blew his nose hard, and complained to me: "If it wasn't for your mother-in-law, my old Zhang would have beat you up by now, making it impossible to compare now!"

After he finished speaking, he was about to go out with the snake grass, but it seemed that he was still angry, and he turned back, with a dark face, staring at me and said: "Okay, if you don't compare, then don't compare, I will not force you Alright, tomorrow, my old Zhang will let you draw a bet, if you don’t draw, hehe, my old Zhang will treat you to a braised iron plate!”

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away with a straight face. I am sure that the braised iron plate he was talking about was the branding iron torture, and I am also sure that he was not joking, because when he spoke, he gritted his teeth.Thinking of the red-hot iron, I really panicked a little.

After Zhang Fei left, Hou Dezhu walked up to me again and persuaded him, "I said, young master, why are you bothering? Master Zhang is so angry that he wants to torture you. I think it's better to fight him, Liu Xianwei said." If you win Master Zhang, he will let you go. If you win, you will kill two birds with one stone. One is to save your own life, and the other is to win the bet. Then I will treat you to chicken legs."

When I heard it, I made a gesture and sighed: "Brother Hou is right, but people don't compare now, and I can't eat chicken legs anymore."

When Hou Dezhu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Haha, Shao Ye, just wait, I'll go and convince Mr. Zhang!"

"This..." I was about to stop him, but he left in no time at all. I just acted like a good boy, and he took it seriously, but then again, if you want me to draw a bet, I It is specified not to paint, but let me suffer the torture, I really might as well fight him, so at this moment, I look forward to a showdown with Lao Zhang.

After one or two hours, Hou Dezhu came back. His steps were slow, his eyes were dull, and he sat down on the chair as soon as he came in. He didn't speak for a long time, and I watched for a long time, and finally asked Said: "Brother Hou, you are talking, what's the matter, is Mr. Zhang still comparable?"

Hou Dezhu said: "The postmaster is here, it's a fart. Now that he's here, Mr. Zhang probably won't be free to come to the cell for a few days."

As soon as I heard that Zhang Fei couldn't come, then they probably wouldn't come to let me make a pledge for the time being. I don't know how things will change at that time. I also relaxed a little. Seeing that Hou Dezhu was unhappy, I deliberately teased: "This ... The lord is not coming, look at my chicken legs..."

Before I finished speaking, he jumped up from the chair, walked out and said: "Don't even think about the chicken legs, I can't eat them yet, you, just stay here for the time being."

After speaking, he slipped away.

Sure enough, Liu Guanzhang didn't come for a few days after that, but luckily, the prison boss Hou Dezhu also began to abuse me from that day on, sir, first removed the table and chairs for me, and then gave me a drink every day gruel!Even the porridge doesn’t make me full. Fortunately, Chen Daya sometimes secretly adds some meat to me so that I can maintain my strength. I know that he stuffed me with meat to thank me for helping him win money, but I still feel that gambling is nothing Good thing, he also lost money these days, and I don't even have to eat meat.

After another day or two, Hou Dezhu walked into the cell in a high spirited manner, and shouted as soon as he came in: "Listen up, you prisoners are blessed, Lord Duyou has ordered you to You all let go!"

He yelled here, and Chen Daya yelled inside, making sure that all the prisoners heard.

The prisoners in the prison, hearing this, had exploded, and all of them jumped up happily. Some hugged each other and cried, saying that they must be good people when they go out. Throwing and playing in the sky, cheering and jumping, it's almost like Chinese New Year.

When Hou Dezhu saw the prisoner laughing, he also grinned loudly. After laughing for a while, he seemed to remember something. He stopped laughing, raised his voice, and continued: "Everyone be quiet, Master Duyou took a huge risk this time to let you out, so each person has to pay five hundred dollars for hard work, oh, five hundred dollars can buy back a life, no matter how you calculate it, it’s a good deal, haha, you all hurry up Yes! Blessed are you all!"

After I heard it, my face sank, and I sat back in the corner, thinking to myself, it’s really not such a good thing, the sky will not be cheap, it’s just to make money, this is corruption in a different way, and I have no money , let’s just sit here obediently, so I closed my eyes and prepared to sleep, but Hou Dezhu seemed to be staring at me, seeing that I was asleep, so he came over and woke me up, saying: “I said, young master , everyone is busy getting out of prison, you...do you still have time to sleep?"

I turned my head around and said listlessly: "Why don't I sleep, I don't have any money with me."

Hou Dezhu said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have it on you. You have it at home. Hurry up and find someone to send a letter and ask your family to send you money. Don't you still want to spend your time in prison here?"

I sighed: "What are you wearing? Isn't Mr. Zhang going to interrogate me?"

After I finished saying this, Hou Dezhu slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, my young master, if you still wait for Zhang Fei to come to interrogate you, then you may not be able to wait for the rest of your life. The three brothers died yesterday." Ran!"

I was taken aback, and thoughtfully asked: "Run away? Impossible, Lieutenant Liu is the boss here, why did he run away?"

Hou Dezhu said: "He is old, does he have a supervisor? I heard people say that the supervisor asked him to do something, but he refused to do it, and the supervisor wanted to dismiss him. In the end, he beat the supervisor. After that, he slipped away, and the official didn't sit anymore, you see, what is this called?"

When I heard this, I remembered that there was such a period in history, Duyou asked Liu Bei to give a red envelope, but Liu Bei refused, Duyou became angry and wanted to remove him from office, so he beat Duyou and ran away.

I guess, the governor thought it over and over again, and he was really unwilling to bring back some oil and water, so he wanted to attack the prisoner. The governor stretched out his hand in the coffin, asking for money.

I suddenly laughed at this moment, because I thought of a good thing, so I stood up, shook my spirits, and said to Hou Dezhu: "Brother Hou, since Liu Bei has escaped, you have to let me go!"
